You can download bootable images from their website as well. memtest-4.20p3 does not work through `boot memtest' on a X250 with stock firmware but just prints "entry point at 0x1000" and leaving the system in a halted state. On my machines MemTest86+ 5.01 is either built as coreboot payload or UEFI executable and works just fine. > The port does not build with ld.lld.

I consider our port useless and defunct so OK kn to remove it.
